My Happy Ending

[Avrilfan18]

So it's been a long time since I wrote a story on here. Let me know what you think.

Avril’s parents were less than thrilled about the news that she was to be marrying Jesse. Jesse was Avril’s boyfriend for three years now and Jesse popped the question just a few days before he was to leave for college. He was granted a full scholarship to college for his amazing abilities in football. Now as Avril sat in front of her parents shocked faces she felt maybe it was not such a good idea for the news to be given in this manner. As it was Jesse was leaving for college in a couple of days. Avril had not yet decided what she wanted to do for school, but she knew that she wanted to be with Jesse. However, explaining this to her parents was useless because they did not believe a 17 year old was capable of deciding what she wanted to do without help.
“You both are so young; perhaps you could wait until you are done college to make such a drastic step?” Judy (Avril’s mother) stated.
“I completely understand what you believe Mrs. Lavigne, but I love Avril with all my heart and I know I am making the right decision” Jesse smiled, squeezing Avril’s hand, to help her feel a little less nervous.
“I believe you think you do Jesse, but if this is meant to be it will still be around after you enter college” Judy informed somewhat rudely.
“Well….” Avril hesitated “It’s my life Mom not yours, so I can make the decision on my own, and I was hoping for your support”.
“Whatever decision you make Avril, your Mother and I will be behind you, but we want to make sure you are making the decision you feel is best. Have you put careful thought into this?” John (Avril’s father) stated sympathetically.
“Thanks Dad and yes we have both put careful thought into this” Avril smiled.
“So you will be going to college with Jesse then?” Judy questioned.
“Yes, but I will just be a phone call away” Avril smiled, hugging her mother.
Avril made her way upstairs to pack her suitcase. She was a bit sad to leave home, she still felt like she belonged at home sometimes. That perhaps she was too young to enter the world on her own, but she had confidence that Jesse could look after them. She packed her favorite clothes; leaving behind the others she just did not have the room for them all. She wished she could pack her entire room but she just could not.
Judy came into the room just as Avril was closing up her suitcase.
“You all packed?” She asked, with a bit of depression in her voice.
“Yea…” Avril looked down.
“I am happy for you sweetie. It’s just hard to think of you getting married when you are only just out of high school”.
“Well we aren’t getting married for at least a year, I mean I am only 17 right now” Avril stated.
“Just don’t rush, you could stay engaged for as long as you wish” Judy smiled.
“Yea I know and we won’t rush Mom”
“You know you can come home at anytime if something goes wrong? You are not banned from our house now that you are moving out” Judy stated.
“I know Mom, and that won’t happen. Jesse has never done anything to hurt me before” Avril smiled, giving her Mom a second hug for the evening.
Avril went to bed that night thinking about in just two days she would be out of this house for more than just a couple nights like she was used to. She sort of felt tears in her eyes as she thought about leaving her parents, but she knew she was making the best decision to go with Jesse. He had been her entire life for the last three years, she spent every spare moment with him and she knew he could take care of them both.

HOLY SHIT, KENDRA!!! I didn't even know you were still here!!

Aghhh, I missed you, your story was the first fanfic I ever liked on Bandaids!! Hold on, let me read and comment!

Avril’s parents were less than thrilled about the news that she was to be marrying Jesse.

And, I would imagine, so were the Bandaiders.

Nah, kidding. A non Avryck story fits in nicely in here.

However, explaining this to her parents was useless because they did not believe a 17 year old was capable of deciding what she wanted to do without help.

UGHHH, fucking parents, man. Although they may be right in this one case, considering she wants to be married at 17. Ignore the hypocracy...you're imagining it; Avril did not just marry at 17 in my story...

“So you will be going to college with Jesse then?” Judy questioned.

Kinda foolish to go to college just for a boyfriend. I mean, don't those places cost, like, money?

“You all packed?” She asked, with a bit of depression in her voice.

*cue music: Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA*

“Well we aren’t getting married for at least a year, I mean I am only 17 right now” Avril stated.

Oh, you'll get married at 18 - when it's legal. Well that's a relief.

“I know Mom, and that won’t happen. Jesse has never done anything to hurt me before”

Oh god, don't say that, Avril! That's just ASKING for something to happen. O_o

He had been her entire life for the last three years, she spent every spare moment with him and she knew he could take care of them both.

This is going too, too well. And considering the song the title comes from, I get the feeling something veeeery bad is on the horizon.

Can't wait to see what it is - by any chance, is it going to involve a certain spiky haired rocker suddenly appearing into the picture?

[Who Cares?]

You're back!
Well... you don't know me since I wasn't around when you wrote your stories, but I read them all.
I'm glad you started writing a new one!

The first update is great and I feel Jesse is just not the perfect guy Avril thinks he is...
I wonder what will happen next!

Keep it up!

I need a few more comments before I can update

[You're So Fabulous]

This sounds like a really interesting story! I hope you continue!

I now have the time for an update and thank you all for the comments

2 days later
Jesse was packing up his car that was primarily full Avril’s items now. Avril was not what many would call a light packer. She had packed most of the items from her room, except her bed and dresser of course. Avril and Jesse were going to share a dorm room at the college, which in most colleges is not allowed but due to their engagement they college allowed it. Avril’s parents did not think much of that, considering their religious background.
“We are all packed up baby” Jesse smiled, closing the truck of his car.
“Ok, I just need a minute to say good bye to my parents” Avril leaned over and gave her Mom what she believed was the strongest hug she had ever felt “I love you Mom, and don’t worry about me, everything will be fine”. She then reached over and hugged her Dad, telling him the same.
“Have fun Avril, and take care of her Jesse” John stated sternly.
“I will” Jesse reached over and shook John’s hand.
It wasn’t long after that Avril and Jesse were reversing out of the drive way. Avril could feel tears building up in her eyes; she knew it would be emotional leaving her parents for college.
“It will be ok baby, I know it’s sad leaving your parents” Jesse leaned over and gave her a kiss.
“Yea, I know everything will be fine, I will just miss them that’s all” Avril smiled, wiping the tears from her eyes.
It seemed to be an eternity as the two of them made their way to college. It was a good 6 hour drive from their home in Napanee to the college. Jesse was not one for stopping on the road either; he just wanted to get to his destination. Avril however, made him stop at least once every two hours so she could get out and stretch her legs. She also liked to have a snack at these stops because riding in the car makes you hungry.
“Jesse… I think we should stop again”
“We are like an hour away from the college Av, and we just stopped a few towns back.”
“That was like three hours ago, come on I’m hungry”
“Alright, I want my fiancée to be happy” Jesse lifted the hand of Avril’s that he was holding in his right hand and kissed it gently.
Jesse stopped the car in the parking lot to Tim Horton’s; it of course was very busy. The line up looked to be at least a fifteen minute wait but given the size of the town there was not much else to choose from.
“You can go sit down if you want Av, this line is really long” Jesse stated.
“I would rather stay and keep you company” Avril leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed his lips. “How did I get so lucky to meet a great guy like you Jesse?”
“I ask myself the same question about you” Jesse smiled, returning a kiss.
The line seemed to move quicker than they had expected, probably because they had each other to keep company.
“So Avril, what do you want more than anything in the world?” Jesse asked.
“I want a professional football player for a husband” She smiled squeezing Jesse’s hand.
“Well I will try my best to make that happen” Jesse smiled.
“I also wouldn’t mind being a famous singer” Avril giggled “But I guess that is only a dream”.
“Well it doesn’t have to be Av, if you want to do something you should go for it, and you have an amazing voice” Jesse encouraged.
“Thanks Jesse” she leaned over the table and kissed him again. She never used to be one for PDA but her feelings for Jesse were just so strong that she could not contain herself at times.
“No problem babe, but we should be going now. Orientation is in a couple hours and we still have a good hour’s drive”.
The rest of the way to college seemed to fly by; they arrived at shortly after 5pm. The dorm that Avril and Jesse got was amazing, surprising because dorms are always viewed as ugly and dark. This dorm though was brand new and the furnishings were unbelievable. The dorm was divided into a living room, kitchen, bathroom and 1 bedroom. The space of course was small but very nice, a lot nicer then the dorm Jesse would have originally had he of been a non-engaged student. The carpet was a royal blue and the couch a nice brown color, walls an off white. There were of course no electronics, as those had to be supplied by the students themselves. Jesse had packed his new flat screen television and DVD player, so they would be all set in that area. The bedroom was a nice tone of green with a double bed. There was also a desk to one side of the bedroom (clearly because dorm rooms are meant for studying). The kitchen just had a stove and mini fridge, microwaves were to be supplied by the student. The kitchen was attached to the living room. The bathroom was small but had a shower and the other necessities (privilege compared to some dorms where the showers are not even in the dorm rooms).
“I think this won’t be so bad after all” Avril stated looking around.
“I know eh? I was not expecting it to be this nice” Jesse smiled, as the two of them just observed their new home for the school year.
